Christmas Daze
Wow, how quickly did Christmas go by? We had a great time this year watching how excited Andrew was. This is the first year he really got into the whole experience.
If you are thinking the smile on his face says "I'm doing something devious" you would be right, LOL. Here he is "helping" daddy put up the Christmas lights by unscrewing the light bulbs - apparently hysterically funny when you are three!
Doesn't he look all sweet and innocent? Andrew has been quite fascinated with the alphabet this year so in honor of that we spent a morning making alphabet letter ornaments out of salt dough. Look closely and you'll see them on the tree.
"Happy Family" - Andrew loves to pull us all into a group hug while he says "Happy Family!" or sometimes he calls it an Andrew sandwich, LOL. This isn't exactly the close hug that inspires the "happy family" saying, but it's a good Christmas pic anyway :)
Leaving some oats and glitter out for the reindeer to spot :)
Milk and cookies for Santa --- or were they for Andrew? He didn't look too sure!
Coming down the hall Christmas morning :)
Opening one of his bigger presents - geotrax train set.
Opening the gift he requested from "Santa" some Cars.
Playing with Geotrax - this is where he has been since opening it on Christmas.
I could insert a dozen or so more pictures... but I think you've gotten enough, and have likely fallen asleep by now! We hope everyone had a great Christmas spent with family and friends :)
Christmas Cookies
We spent an evening at Grandma Lynne's house baking and decorating Christmas cookies. As you can see... Andrew and Grandma were taking their cookie baking rather seriously!
and did not make any mess at all
Icing fun :)
Hey... it's a hard job, but someone had to do the taste testing!
